📱 Detailed Overview:

Resistive Touchscreens:

Predates capacitive technology
Uses pressure to detect touch
Two conductive layers make contact at touch point
Simple but effective for early devices like ATMs and Nintendo DS


Capacitive Touchscreens:

Patented in 1975 by G. Samuel Hurst
Uses body's conductivity to detect touch
Enables multi-touch gestures like pinch and zoom
More durable than resistive screens


Advanced Technologies:

Apple's 3D Touch: Introduces pressure sensitivity
Future concepts: Virtual 3D interactions and tactile feedback


Comparison of Technologies:

Resistive: Budget-friendly, works with any object
Capacitive: More durable, supports multi-touch, requires conductive input



🌱 Main Takeaways:

Touchscreen technology has evolved from simple pressure-based systems to sophisticated capacitive screens.
Each type of touchscreen has its own strengths and weaknesses, suited for different applications.
The future of touch technology promises even more intuitive and immersive interactions.
